Well last weekend, me and one of my friends made a plan to go to the movies to see Ironman 3. He told me that he would call me in the morning of that day to confirm with me. I waited all morning that day, and I heard nothing. I tried calling and texting and still nothing. I thought that he might be waiting for me at the theater anyway so I went, but he wasn't there. I made several attempts to call and text and still no answer. Then finally he texted me saying that he had family over so I just went in and saw the movie myself. Which brings me to another example: It seems when their families are around, they never answer my calls or texts. I mean if your family is over and you can't talk, then ok I understand. At least shoot me a quick text letting me know of your family's presence then I'll let you be. I don't see why you have to totally blow me off.
I have friends that do not respond to my texts when they're busy with family or work or other plans. It is irritating because I am one of those people that responds right away--even if it is to say that I am busy and will talk later. I think you and I just have to accept the fact that some people are just not like us and will not respond right away if they are busy with other things. I do understand your frustration that they didn't communicate with you after they said they were going to, though. That's REALLY annoying.
Overall, family does come first for a lot of people. It's not so much that you don't exist anymore, but sometimes people don't get to spend time with their families or even see their family members all the time. So when they are able to, they are probably really involved and don't have a spare minute or so to use their phone.
Is it normal for friends to always put family ahead of you?
